Have you heard of Jingles the Elf? Well today I’m going to introduce you to him and to Doodle Dots, a fun mom-owned company with inspired books and products for children.
Jingles comes in a box with his very own book. He is a very curious little elf and when playing with “Magical Copying Machine” in the workshop he created thousands of Jingles. So Santa has come up with a great plan.
He assigned each Jingle to a special child and gave each one a magical bell to report back to the North Pole with. Jingles is sent out every December 1st to their chosen child. Every night the elf hides somewhere new, waiting to be discovered by their child. This fun hide and seek adventure continues each night until Santa picks Jingles up on his way back to the North Pole on Christmas Eve.
This delightful little package is such a fun idea for children during the holidays. I think that it makes for a fun family activity.
Also available from DooDots is The Giving Jar. A beautifully illustrated story about an 11 year old boys visit to his grandparents’ farm and a lesson on giving.
Doodle Dots is offering A Frog In My Soup readers 10% off when you use the code HOLIDAY10OFF at checkout through December 15th (so hurry).
She has also offered one lucky winner a signed copy of both Jingles the Elf and The Giving Jar. To enter to win please visit their website, take a look around then come back here and tell me why you’d like this prize.

Just going to the website felt like a combination of the “Elf” movie and the “Candyland” game. My son is at the age where “The Giving Jar” would really benefit him. Nowadays, kids are given so much…too much, actually. I would like him to see what it’s like to really help someone else. Thank you.

Jingles would be great for my kindergarten class. The Giving Jar would make a great present for a friend’s daughter.

I’ve heard of similar things to Jingles – I’d love to get that because I think my kids would have so much fun discovering his new spot each day. Also, my oldest boy is 11 and I think the Giving Jar might help him feel inspired to give as well.

I like Jingles the Elf because my children would have lots of fun playing hide and seek every morning. Our littlest who is only 1 might not understand that he is supposed to be lookign for him, but he will gladly follow around my two oldest children while they look for Jingles. THANKS for the giveaway.

I would love this because the elf appears on the 1st day of December, and then goes and tells santa if the child has been bad or good!
